Creamy Strawberry Salad Dressing with Chives: a Surprising and Delicious Twist
The best part of eating seasonally is how delighted I am when my favorite fruits and vegetables come back into season. And what’s better than ripe, juicy berries? Even before strawberry season hits, I’m inventing delicious and creative strawberry recipes. Yes, they are truly delectable by themselves–even on the way home from the farmers market! But fresh, ripe strawberries are also the hero ingredients in so many sweet treats and an incredible addition to savory sauces, salads, and drinks! And with that we have created this delicious strawberry salad dressing!
When we created our Whole30 Strawberry Cobb Salad, we developed a strawberry salad dressing infused with savory chives and it is a total hit! This delightful concoction brings together the sweetness of strawberries with the zing of chives, creating a compelling symphony of tastes that we can’t get enough of.
This strawberry salad dressing is utterly creamy and delicious! We achieve this magic by blending strawberries with our homemade mayo. It results in a velvety smooth dressing that coats your salad ingredients beautifully. Every bite will pack a ton of flavor!
The second best thing about our Creamy Strawberry Salad Dressing with Chives is how easy it is to make. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal prep, you can whip up a batch in no time. Whether you’re going to a dinner party or just want to add some excitement to your weekday salads, this recipe is perfect for any occasion.
While this strawberry salad dressing is perfect to drizzle over salads, its uses don’t stop there. Try it as a dip for fresh vegetables or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps. The possibilities are endless, so it’s the perfect opportunity to get creative!

Is there something I can substitute for the egg in this strawberry dressing? I have an egg intolerance.
